My Dovahkiin experience

So I'll start off by stating that I haven't done any part of the main quest besides the first part of getting to Riverwood, so I don't have any shouts to use plus Master difficulty as well as no fast travel. Since I haven't really started the main quest, there aren't any dragons about. My character is a Pro-Thalmor, Imperialist High Elf Mage, aka squishy. Also I'm only level 15

First thing I wanted to do right after joining the Imperial Legion was the Mages College. After trouncing around helping them abit, I received a quest to go into this terrible place called Labyrinthian. As I traverse up the snowy steps to the forgotten ruins, I take note of several frost trolls meandering about. I take up my fists, full and prepped for fire blasting. I take the first two trolls with decent ease and make my way further up to the main door of the ruins. As soon as I approach the door, I'm ambushed by 3 trolls that had apparently been waiting for me. With semi-low magicka, I haul my ass down the steps to try and regen some mana before taking them head on. After dispatching the first one with ease, the other two smack me and kill me instantly. Reload.

Finally take em out one by one the second try. Finally making way down into the ruins of this demented and haunted place killing draugr as I go. Draugr Wrights seem to be a pain in the ass. I eventually come to a room that has a gate on the door leading into this large cavernous room. I hit the lever on the side of the door and step closer, not yet walking through the door. As soon as I get close, 6 skeletal archers crack open their coffins along with 3 Mage skeletons and 2 warriors skeletons. The door slams shut in front of me.(Since I'm only using the flames spell, this proves to be a challenge. Without shouts, I have no crowd control or ways to swing the fights in favor.) I slam the lever again and charge into the room hands blazing. I blow up 3 of the archers instantly as they are my bane. The other archers will have to wait as the Mages and warriors are closing in on me. I quickly dispose of the 2 warriors and start working on the mages abit before dodging behind a pillar to regen my health and chug some mana potions. I swing back around and blast away the closest mage, only 2 mages and 3 more archers. I swing back around the pillar as I misjudged the remaining archers aim and quickly downed a few health pots. I take a quick second to breath and focus, I swing out again and run to the next pillar, apparently this awoke a skeletal dragon.

It burst forth from its tomb and roared with nothing but bloodlust in its interest. I stared in awe as it clambered around for a second, took one look at an archer, who was too preoccupied with lodging arrows in my side. The dragon smacked the skeleton as it exploded in a shower of bones instantly. After finishing off the mage and the last remaining archer. I stood before a very pissed off demon of a dragon. After peppering it fire, turns to me and breathes it deathly winter breath all over me, with health dropping quickly, I crawl behind a pillar downing potions like a frat boy with a beerbong. I think I'm beat, running low on potions and food along with a still very health dragon wanting to eat my soul. I remember from my previous endeavors against dragons, that standing to the side of the dragon can help keep damage at an minimum. I charge out there and run under his skeletal wing, blasting away at his already charring bone. He starts to swivel his head preparing another wintery blast. I throw everything I got him. Only to get too cocky and take a blast to my face. After ducking behind a pillar and downing my last health potion and mana pot, I charge back out there for one final time, whether it be mine or the dragons. After throwing my all at him and getting dangerously low on health, I finally slay the demon. I sit there in a sort of a daze, wondering what to do.

I save and go out for a smoke..

I haven't even finished this dungeon yet.
